All laser hair removal at New Image Laser Cosmetics is performed using an FDA approved laser for PERMANENT hair reduction. Which laser used depends on the client's skin type, but all can be assured of long term, stable reduction in the amount of hairs re-growing.

Because the laser only destroys those hairs in active growth, a series of treatments will be necessary. With each treatment, greater hair reduction is achieved. On average, you will need 4 to 6 treatments. Depending on the individual and the site being treated, some people will need up to 10 treatments.

This depends on the size of the treatment area. We have clients that only wish to have the hair on their upper lip removed. This requires only a few minutes. Others however want the back, chest, legs and / or other larger areas. Large areas may take 45 minutes to an hour. An entire body could require most of the morning or afternoon. When undergoing long treatment sessions, most clients nap or read a magazine while listening to music. The time passes quickly.

Most people describe it as no feeling at all or, like a small rubber band lightly snapping on the skin or, like a tiny electrical "buzz". Very few people actually describe it as painful but we do offer topical anesthetics if you desire. Its use is rarely necessary.

Two of our laser systems specialize in hair removal. Both are FDA approved for all skin types including people of color. Of the two, Dr. Noe prefers the Lyra-i for all darker skin types such as African American, Dark Hispanic and Dark Middle Eastern. This laser achieves results equal to those achieved on lighter skin types and is completely safe. People of color also suffer from razor bumps more frequently than lighter skinned individuals. This laser will eliminate this problem as well by removing the hair that causes it.

When used properly, the laser is completely safe. Your eyes are at risk and therefore are shielded throughout the treatment. No ionizing radiation is released by these lasers so the risk of damage to the skin is incredibly small. In the business of laser hair reduction there is risk of burn and changes in skin color but these risks are extremely small due to the lasers used and the training of Dr. Noe and his staff.

There is of course no guarantee that all of the veins will completely disappear. This is however the goal and the vast majority of patients enjoy a significant reduction in the veins and are extremely satisfied with the results. With time, new veins will occur. The treatments remove veins, they do not stop the natural aging process. You may find that in the future you will have additional veins appear. Dr. Noe and his staff will discuss ways for you to prevent this natural aging process from resulting in future veins.

The vast majority of people report very little discomfort during the procedure. You may feel a mild sting each time the laser fires. Other people describe it as a little electrical buzz.

After the procedure, it may feel and look as though a cat scratched you. Or, it may itch a bit. You should not however, feel pain. If this is a concern for you, Dr. Noe may prescribe a medication.
